For me, the NHL game is not very exciting or interesting to watch anymore as a spectator. Its been said many times over, but the speed and strategies of the game now mean there are bursts of excitement, but for the most part the action is along the boards and in the neutral zone, and often good plays happen too quickly to follow live. Watching players position themselves without the puck is interesting once and a while, but that's about it. As far as entertainment for the your dollars, i find the NHL way overpriced.
So i'm a fan, but i prefer to watch on TV. And if i want to make it an event, i go to the sports bar. Hence no surprise to me that teams are finding themselves with empty seats.
